scifi without logic.

Rating: 3/10 (7 October 2013)

I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. The acting, is cringeworthy!!! The characters are not likable...the script is bitty, and cheesy. I don't know what the aim was - is it supposed to be spoofy????? It feels like it sometimes.
It looks alright...BUT the main problem I have, is that there are so many holes in the science in it. I'm not a scientist...I just like things to have logic, and be believable. Someone else mentioned in another review about some stuff I'd noticed myself (the pilots would operate remotely - like people do now controlling weaponry, the workings wouldn't be as clunky and mechanical etc etc)...I know that might sound picky, but once holes are shown in films, it ruins the movie experience. Good scifi should always be plausible. If you're not too bothered about that, there is a chance you might like the film.
It's a shame. I like Del Torro's other stuff as well. But here, he's indulged his style over the substance of the film.
